I'm running Linux Mint 17 Qiana, and I have experience the same problem.

I have posted about it here:

I'm new to Linux Mint, I don't know how to log a bug report, but if
someone can post instructions I will follow them.

Thanks very much,
Zelek.

I believe it is related to the following bug:

Does anyone have a fix for this? Due to the excessive CPU load and filling up 
the root filesystem with logs the system is under heavy strain and not usable 
for what I plan for it.
I have already had to delete syslog.1 and kern.log.1 once... the root 
filesystem had 0 bytes free, I waited for the system to automatically create 
the .1 files then I deleted them.

[Bug 400018] Re: Automatic reboot for UI-limited machines

2009-07-17 Thread Will Uther
That is great.  I might play with it myself.  I'd like to add the extra
options so that it doesn't reboot if I'm watching TV.

if /usr/X11R6/bin/xset -display :0 -q | grep -q Monitor is On

and for samba something involving:

net RAP session -I localhost

but I'll have to turn those into Python.

Without these checks I'm not sure I'd want to actually turn that on.

My other issue is that it isn't very discoverable.  So thanks!  I might
also have a play myself.

[Bug 400018] [NEW] Automatic reboot for UI-limited machines

2009-07-15 Thread Will Uther
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: update-manager

Summary:

  At the moment on my Jaunty box I have automatic security updates
selected, and mostly that works fine.  Sometimes the machine needs to
reboot for these updates to be effective.  In this case it brings up a
dialog informing me that a reboot is required and giving me the option
to do so.  I would like an option to reboot automatically.

I notice that an option like this is already in the
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/auto-update-blueprint , but there are some extra
tweaks that would be useful for me.

Details:

  I'm running a mythtv box.  This is a home media server that uses the
'lirc' infra-red controller package as its main form of input - I have
no keyboard or mouse available for normal use.  Auto-update is good, but
at the moment when I get the restart required dialog I have to go dig
out the keyboard or mouse to make the dialog go away.

  There are a couple of potential solutions here:

  - Make the dialog lirc aware, or
  - Make the system reboot automatically, or
  - Make the system reboot automatically, but only when the machine is idle.

The first two would both work, but I think the third is the best option.
Detecting 'idle'ness really depends upon what the machine is used for.
For me, there are three indicators:

  - The X DPMS system has the display dimmed, and
  - noone is logged in to the samba server on the machine (which happens 
automatically - the machine is used for Apple Time Machine backups).

The first of those is the most relevant.  I don't want the system
rebooting while I'm watching a movie, even though the mouse, which is
not readily accessible, hasn't moved in weeks.  I'd be happy if there
was a way to script your own idleness detector, with a simple, sensible,
default.

I don't know if this bug belongs in the update-notifier package instead.

[Bug 392362] [NEW] Upgrade to mythtv fixes 20697 for lcdproc compatibility

2009-06-25 Thread Will Uther
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: mythtv

LCDProc has recently released a new version with many driver updates,
etc.  There is a bug in the 0.21 release of mythtv that means mythtv
does not work with this new release of LCDProc (Mythtv bugs 6105 and
6625).

The bug was fixed in mythtv trunk and then backported to the 0.21 fixes
branch in mythtv revision 20697.

It would be nice to upgrade to a 0.21-fixes revision that includes this
fix before Karmic is released.

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: lcdproc

LCDProc 0.5.3 has just been released.  It would be nice to upgrade to
this for Karmic.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/lcdproc/

I suspect that there might be people encountering configuration issues
on upgrade.  It might be a good idea to adjust the default config to
include ServerScreen=no.  The default setting of this option has
changed since 0.5.2 (well, a bug in the default was fixed having a
similar effect), and this means that people using MythTV to turn off
their backlight will see the backlight flash.  Turning ServerScreen
off fixes the problem.

 network configuration? Are you using network-manager or
 /etc/network/intrefaces? Are you using a static configuration or  
 rely on
 dhcp?

I have a static configuration in /etc/network/interfaces.

The reload seems to happen just before NetworkManager starts up.

I just tried manually adding Mathias' latest change.  That also seems to
solve the problem for me.  (This was not a full re-install with that
patch - just me with vim reverting the old patch and adding that patch.
I hope I haven't made any mistakes :)

[Bug 326768] Re: mysqld_safe thinks mysqld has crashed when it hasn't

2009-05-10 Thread Will Uther
I patched mysqld_safe directly based on Mario's diff (and replace the 
wait that I had removed).  This fixes the problem for me.

I also looked in the logs to see what was happening on boot with the
change and I noticed:

May 10 11:02:55 willvo sshd[2981]: Received signal 15; terminating.
May 10 11:02:55 willvo ntpd[3721]: ntpd exiting on signal 15

but both seem to be running.  Postfix also reloads its configuration.
Is someone (upstart?) telling all daemons to reload their configs for
some reason?

Is there an easy way to track down who sends a signal?

It seems there are two problems here - the signal being sent, and
mysqld_safe poor response to receiving it.  It would be nice to get to
the bottom of each of them.

[Bug 326768] Re: mysql thinks it has crashed when it hasn't

2009-04-21 Thread Will Uther
I thought I'd list what I discovered when originally looking at this
bug.  Much of this is mythtv specific.  I'm currently of the opinion
that there are issues in both mythtv and mysql, with the mythtv strange
behaviour tickling a mysql issue.

On a problematic boot, mysql starts normally.  This means that the
mysqld_safe script is run.  It starts the mysql daemon then waits for
the daemon to stop.  If the daemon stops normally (the pid file has been
removed) then mysqld_safe exits.  If the daemon didn't stop normally
then mysqld_safe kills any remaining instances of mysqld running, before
restarting the daemon.

mythbackend then starts.  During startup, mythbackend does a reschedule
of its recordings (i.e. it goes through the list of programs to be
recorded and the epg and decides which ones to record with which tuner).

At some point around this time, mysqld_safe is detecting that the mysql
daemon has stopped.  It is then, as noted above, killing all remaining
mysql daemon processes, before starting a fresh one.  My understanding
is that on my default desktop jaunty install I should only ever have one
mysql daemon running at once (and a quick ps reveals that is what I
currently have).  If you look at the logs above, you'll see that
mysqld_safe is detecting one mysql daemon running after it has already
decided that one has failed.  This is what I meant by the bug report
title, mysql thinks it has crashed when it hasn't.  This seems to be a
problem with a false detection of a crash causing the cleanup mechanism
to actually kill the mysqld process.

When the mysqld process is killed in this way during a mythbackend
reschedule, mythbackend fails to schedule any recordings.  Once the
database restarts, mythbackend can still access the database - e.g. you
can see the epg, and you see the list of programs you've ask to be
recorded.  If you do anything that causes mythbackend to re-schedule
recordings (e.g. change anything in the list of programs to be recorded
- you can even change it back after the reschedule), then mythbackend
will connect to the db, reschedule correctly and everything will be
fine.

This is a little bit weird in that restarting mythbackend later doesn't
cause mysql to restart again.  It only seems to restart once.  If there
was a major problem with mythbackend then I would expect it to show up
every time mythbackend is restarted.

It also doesn't seem to be a race condition (which was suggested by the
fact that it only happens the first time).  If I put a `sleep 10` at the
start of the mythbackend init script it doesn't help.

Barney - could you clarify your comment for me?

You say Running mythtv-setup, removing all encoder cards and adding
them again fixes this.  Is this a permanent fix, or does the problem
recur if you reboot?

If this is only a fix for that boot, there are easier ones.  Anything
that causes mythbackend to force a reschedule is a temporary fix (this
includes restarting mythbackend, or just marking a new show to be
recorded).

Yeah - it looks to me like Bug 358173 is the same bug.

I find it very strange that this bug only affects mythbackend (all the
possible duplicates seem to reference mythtv).  I suspect that it is
doing something strange.  I reported a mysql bug because I figured that
the mysql server shouldn't behave strangely even if the client program
does weird things.

2009-03-31 Thread Will Uther
Without the fix I mentioned in the original report, mysql gets restarted
once.  Obviously mysqld_safe uses some CPU to do this (it will do one
iteration of the loop at the bottom of the script).  mysqld_safe is not
looping and restarting mysql multiple times, which is, I think, the
behaviour you were asking about.

No, it does not sit at the top of `top`.

It is strange that it only falls through once.

[Bug 339781] [NEW] [g45] xv video tearing

2009-03-08 Thread Will Uther
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel

This bug report is similar to bug #278318 .  The difference is that that
bug was asking people switch from textured video to video overlay.  The
G45 doesn't have an overlay mode - the switch from textured video simply
isn't possible.

This bug is being worked on upstream here:
http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=19635

A patch was committed upstream on about the 6th of March which purports
to solve this problem.  It would be nice to get this into the Jaunty
release.

[Bug 326768] [NEW] mysql thinks it has crashed when it hasn't

2009-02-07 Thread Will Uther
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: mysql-server-5.0

I'm running mythtv on jaunty with mysql-server-5.0 version
5.1.30really5.0.75-0ubuntu5.  During boot mysql starts, then mythtv
starts, then mysql restarts and mythtv gets confused.

'/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock'  port: 3306  (Ubuntu)

Note that mysqld_safe is finds one mysqld process still running after it
is supposed to have crashed.  mysqld_safe then kills that process and
starts another.  This only seems to happen once during boot - it doesn't
keep restarting mysqld in normal use.

The problem is somewhat intermittent.  I made it go away once before by
mysqlrepairing my tables, but they seem fine now.  Debian bug 418648
looks somewhat similar but slightly different (and the fix they used
doesn't work for me).

My current fix is to replace:

$NOHUP_NICENESS $ledir/$MYSQLD $defaults --basedir=$MY_BASEDIR_VERSION --d
atadir=$DATADIR $USER_OPTION --pid-file=$pid_file --skip-external-locking 21 |
 $ERR_LOGGER -t mysqld  wait

$NOHUP_NICENESS $ledir/$MYSQLD $defaults --basedir=$MY_BASEDIR_VERSION --dat
adir=$DATADIR $USER_OPTION --pid-file=$pid_file --skip-external-locking 21 | $
ERR_LOGGER -t mysqld

in the mysqld_safe script (the second line has   wait removed from
the end).  This seems to fix the problem.  I don't understand the
difference in semantics between   wait and normal process
termination.

[Bug 326702] [NEW] MythTV creates files in /home even if mount /home fails

2009-02-07 Thread Will Uther
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: mythtv-backend

I've been having some difficulty with the filesystem I'm using for
/home.  This means that that filesystem has occasionally failed to
mount.  This is annoying, but it interacts with /etc/init.d/mythtv-
backend in a bad way too...

If /home doesn't mount, the mythtv-backend startup script runs anyway.
And that startup script, on line 51, does this:

mkdir -p $USER_HOME/.mythtv

which, because of the -p option, creates files in /home even if
$USER_HOME doesn't exist (because the mount failed).

This causes all future attempts to mount /home to fail!  (until the
newly created files are removed.)

Might I suggest that the '-p' option here be removed.  If $USER_HOME
exists, this will still create the .mythtv directory, but if /home isn't
mounted then nothing bogus will be created.

This is on jaunty with mythtv-backend version 0.21.0+fixes19556-0ubuntu6

That sounds reasonable.

Something like this:

if [ ! -d $USER_HOME ]; then
log_failure_msg MythTV home directory, $USER_HOME, does not exist!
exit 1
fi

#create a symbolic link for mysql.txt so it can't be overwritten
if [ ! -e $USER_HOME/.mythtv/mysql.txt ]; then
mkdir -p $USER_HOME/.mythtv
chown -R $USER $USER_HOME/.mythtv
ln -s /etc/mythtv/mysql.txt $USER_HOME/.mythtv/mysql.txt

[Bug 326768] [NEW] mysql thinks it has crashed when it hasn't

2009-02-07 Thread Will Uther
Public bug reported:

I'm running mythtv on jaunty with mysql-server-5.0 version

[Bug 326162] [NEW] mythtv-status clobbers other motd update scripts

2009-02-06 Thread Will Uther
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: mythtv-status

Mythtv status (version 0.7.3-2ubuntu2) has been sending annoying emails
to root every 10 minutes on my machine.  (Related to, but *not* the same
as bug 311532.)  Mythtv-status has also been clobbering other motd
altering scripts on my machine (such as the one notifying me of
available updates).  It turns out that these two issues can be fixed
with the same fix.

mythtv-status is using its own system to update the motd.  On the jaunty
system I'm running, there is already a nice motd update mechanism in
place that has two advantages:

  a) it doesn't have the bug that causes an error to root when it updates, and
  b) it doesn't clobber other motd update scripts.

The fix then is simple.  Remove the mythtv-status init script, and add a
script in /etc/update-motd.d/ that calls mythtv-status.

Be well,

Will

[Bug 262177] Re: [needs-packaging] FreeSwitch - telephony exchange media gateway

2009-02-01 Thread Will Uther
Hi,
  Just leaving notes here for whoever follows.  FreeSwitch 1.0.2 will not 
compile with libtool 2 (which is used in intrepid and jaunty).  There are some 
patches being worked on here:

http://jira.freeswitch.org/browse/FSBUILD-82

to fix that.  They apply cleanly to the source of the package I noted
above (which is 1.0.2 with some patches).

With that patch, the source builds, but the deb package has a few
problems on jaunty.

[Bug 224665] Re: ntpd starts but does not contact peers

2008-06-13 Thread Will Uther
I also had this issue.  Rather than just not start ntpd in 
/etc/network/if-up.d/ntpdate
(you'd be better off just removing the script, no?),
I made it so that ntpd is restarted only if it was running to begin with:

I now have this at the bottom of my script (replacing the few lines
where ntpd was stopped, ntpdate run and then ntpd restarted):

# Do not start ntpd if it wasn't already running
RESTARTNTP=0

if [ -f /var/run/ntpd.pid ]; then
RESTARTNTP=1
if [ -x /bin/pidof ]; then
pidof /usr/sbin/ntpd | grep -f /var/run/ntpd.pid -q  ||
RESTARTNTP=0
fi
fi

if [ $RESTARTNTP = 1 ]; then
invoke-rc.d --quiet ntp stop || true
fi

/usr/sbin/ntpdate-debian -s $OPTS 2/dev/null

if [ $RESTARTNTP = 1 ]; then
invoke-rc.d --quiet ntp start || true

[Bug 217254] Re: open-vm-tools is an alpha quality release

2008-05-03 Thread Will Uther
It is a pity that these tools are missing.  While perhaps only 'alpha'
quality, the official vmware tools are currently broken on hardy,
whereas the open tools work.  Even the vmware blogs are pointing to
them:

http://blogs.vmware.com/teamfusion/2008/05/linux-2624-and.html

Perhaps adding a warning: unsupported would have been better than
removing them entirely.

Is there any chance of bringing them back?

[Bug 154000] Re: kubuntu dist upgrade tool crashed

2008-03-13 Thread Will Uther
I have recently been re-installing Kubuntu 7.10 on a VMWare virtual
machine.  I had previously installed 7.10 on a similar VM last year
(when 7.10 was new), and it had worked fine.  Now I'm getting this crash
on dist-upgrade.

Directions to get a crash:
  i) Make a new VM (I'm using VMWare Fusion 1.1.1 on a MacBook running MacOS 
Leopard 10.5.2).  Use the default VM settings for Ubunutu (VMWare has these 
defaults.  It includes an 8Gb drive and 512 Mb of RAM.)
  ii) Install from MD5 (kubuntu-7.10-desktop-i386.iso) = 
ae9b209fe4b9caf545fa2011631de797
  I downloaded that iso a while ago, so it may not be up-to-date.  I have 
installed with it successfully before though (on both VMs and real machines).
  iii) Everything installs as normal.  You then restart into the new OS.
  iv) Start Adept.  The first time you update the apt package lists, it will 
tell you there is a dist-upgrade.  Select it.
  v) Adept will download the update manager and then start it.
  vi) The update manager will crash.

I did finally manage to get this to work by increasing the amount of RAM
in my VM to 1024Mb, and increasing the drive size to 10Gb.  When I did
this (and re-installed from scratch) dist-upgrade didn't crash any more.

[Bug 202052] [NEW] Installer should allow mirror choice

2008-03-13 Thread Will Uther
Public bug reported:

I've been installing kubuntu 7.10 on some machines in Australia
recently.  This is annoying at the moment because it seems the Aus
mirror is down.  This causes the install the freeze for a long time
scanning the mirror.  It seems that I'm not the first to have a
problem like this (see bugs #162865 #95335 and even #103825).

There are two problems here:
  i) the mirror is failing (this is what is reported in the bugs listed above),
  ii) There is no nice fallback from i)  (This is what I'm reporting in this 
bug).

The particular fallback that springs to mind is being able to select the
mirror to install from in the installer.  At the moment the mirror is
selected automatically from your location, and this isn't always the
best choice.

  There are two current work-arounds:

  i) Unplug the network while installing.  This causes the installer to use the 
CD by itself.  You can then plug in the network, switch mirrors, and update on 
the first boot.  This seems messy.
  ii) I could probably use the Alternate install CD.  This works ok for me 
(although I'd prefer a nice option in the gui installer), but is awful for 
other people in Aus I'm trying to encourage to use Kubunutu.

  What I would like to see:  The install works as it currently does.
However, if the mirror doesn't respond, or responds very slowly, then a
dialog is displayed (much like the one in Adept) that allows the user to
choose another mirror (hopefully starting with the ones in the user's
country).

Be well,

Will:-}
